Band Pasta

Welcome to Band Pasta. This is the food blog of touring musician Danny Schwartz a.k.a. Danny Black. As I tour I like to explore great cuisine in each city and by each venue. Look for guest blog entries from my friends who are also on tour as they share their favorites. See you at the show and come hungry.

Hello all,

      welcome to what is currently being called, Band Pasta. The name is from the band meal served at the Iota Club & Cafe in Arlington, VA where I have run sound for the past two years. I have eaten a lot of band pasta in that time and from my time on tour, I can tell you that it is a step up from the norm. In other clubs you are offered sandwiches and hamburgers, vegetarian and vegan options are tough to come by. In that spirit and because I love good food, i have gone searching for the best regional cuisine in any particular city and hopefully with some proximity to the venue I’m playing.

       I have been logging my food travels for a while now with my good friend Luke Brindley and have only recently decided to break out on my own and expand the touring food blog empire. Please support Luke’s blog and musical efforts at www.lukebrindley.com and http://what-exit.com. My past blog entries are up on what-exit.com.

       I have grand plans to engage musicians I know and ones I don’t, to be contributing food bloggers on this page. Since I play some cool places and my friends play many more, it seemed obvious to get them to blog about where they like to eat when playing particular clubs. Their entries will be complete with links to their sites. If they write an entry for this blog then rest assured they are totally awesome and come with my full endorsement. Please support. Let’s talk food soon and you can see my tour dates at www.dhssound.com

P.S. If you are a vegetarian or vegan on the road and need some help finding your culinary way, then visit my friend Yvonne at http://www.thetravelingvegetarian.tv/ She can point you towards the most incredible foods in a bunch of cities. I totally trust her and you should as well.
